Abstract
Structures and formation methods of a semiconductor device structure are provided. A semiconductor device structure includes a first dielectric layer and a second dielectric layer over a semiconductor substrate. A cavity penetrates through the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer. The semiconductor device structure also includes a first movable membrane between the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer. The first movable membrane is partially exposed through the cavity. The first movable membrane includes first corrugated portions arranged along an edge of the cavity.
